  2. 2King of glory! reign forever,Thine an everlasting crown;Nothing, from Thy love, shall severThose whom Thou hast made Thine own;(Happy objects of Thy grace)Happy objects of Thy grace(Destined to behold Thy face.)Destined to behold Thy face.Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia! Amen.
  3. 3Savior! hasten Thine appearing;Bring, oh, bring the glorious day,When, the awful summons hearing,Heav’n and earth shall pass away;(Then, with golden harps we’ll sing,)Then, with golden harps we’ll sing,(“Glory, glory to our King!”)“Glory, glory to our King!”Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
